Data showed that the School of Science and Technology District welcomed 4,315 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, African American students comprised 23.4% of the student body to be one of the most represented ethnicities in the district.

Among the seven schools in the School of Science and Technology District, School of Science and Technology Champions recorded the highest enrollment of African American students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 429 students.

Critics argue that private schools use funds that should go to the public school system, while private school advocates claim they’re offering better education for more Texas students.
